Данный курс предназначен прежде всего для дизайнеров, которые хотят увереннее работать с буквами. Наша задача—научить вас видеть логические связи, не смотреть на буквы по отдельности, а думать о них как о части целого, слова, фразы, текста. Будет много скетчей, много поиска и очень много работы. Ведь дней всего восемь, а успеть научиться нужно многому. Конечно, за восемь дней вы не станете шрифтовыми дизайнерами, но мы уверены, что данный курс станет новой ступенью в вашем развитии.

Стандартное расписание:
11:30–12:00 Обсуждение и просмотр книг из нашей библиотеки

Type Jam is a fun event for people of all skill levels. We’re hoping to bring together two communities: those who make typography (e.g. letterers, type designers, font engineers), and those who use typography (e.g. graphic designers, product designers, etc.). Make fonts, make friends, have fun!

  Type Jam

Type Jam is an opportunity for both novices and experts to experience and explore different disciplines and methods for creating beautiful type in a very constrained time period.

We created Type Jam to make it easier for people without traditional type design experience to start designing fonts. By mixing both amateurs and pros in a room together for 48 hours, some amazing things can happen!

Whether you're a graphic designer, letterer, muralist, engineer, unemployed, Type Jam can get you one step closer to creating your very first font!

For you pros out there, Type Jam can also be a place to experiment with new techniques, styles, Python scripting, while mentoring people new to the craft.

Once again, one of the world’s best low-cost one-week type design workshops will take place in the mountains of Slovenia, this time mentored by pro designer Franziska Weitgruber (Typejockeys).

Participants receive an extended trial license and can purchase their own full license at a discount.

Opinions can differ greatly among type designers and typographers when it comes to decisions about letter shapes. One of the most contested letters in that respect is the German sharp S, even more so its cap variant, and even more so among native speakers of German. Recent publications such as Hermann Schmidt Verlag’s ‘niße’ book, the addition of the cap sharp S to Unicode and most recently also to official German orthography, show that there is ample need for discussion. In this double presentation, an opinionated Swiss and an opinionated Austrian will discuss this letter, possible and not so possible shapes, good and bad design decisions, and will probably fail at the attempt of settling all questions once and for all.

Glyphs member Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer will host two intensive workshop days at the Wei sraum in Innsbruck, Austria, to get your first font project started.

Workshop: ‘Start your own Font – mit Glyphs’

Mit einfachen Kniffen wird der Blick fürs gestalterische und technische Detail geschärft. Buchstaben werden zuerst skizziert dann digitalisiert, alle weiteren Buchstabenformen abgeleitet, Sonderzeichen erzeugt und so die Grundlage für einen kompletten eigenen Font gelegt.

Go beyond choosing the same fonts from the type menu to creating your own typefaces and become your own type designer. This (always sold out) six-hour workshop will introduce you to the basic skills necessary for the wild journey into the super fun world of type design.

This class will teach you the basics of designing and generating a typeface with the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only). In the morning session we will learn the basics of drawing a font, generate the font, and use it in InDesign.

In the afternoon, we will add additional letters to the font, learning how to kern them, add diacritics, and produce the combined letters. At the end of the day, we will not have a finished font, but a respectable start and hopefully you’ll be infected with the type making bug.

The process will be simple, therapeutic, craft focussed and collaborative. You will gain a deeper understanding of what typeface design is and can be. You will walk away with a tangible result that you can use again and again, as well as the feeling of wanting to do and create more.

The process will be documented and kept by Alexandra Lunn Studio who will then create a collective font from the 3 day period which will then be shared with you for you to use on a Mac, which we will then send out to all participants later in the year as a souvenir and a reminder of the fun of an interactive workshop.

No previous knowledge of type design or Arabic is required, but there will be online reading materials assigned ahead of the workshop. So, if you are a practicing type designer who would like to get into Arabic design, or if you are a graphic designer who is interested in exploring Arabic type design, you are all welcome! The daily schedule will run from 10am to 5pm with a one hour lunch break and will alternate between lectures, individual design time, and group feedback sessions.

Sketching papers and pens will be provided. Please bring a Mac laptop as the workshop will be conducted on Glyphs which runs on Mac only.

In the spirit of how lectures are taught at Cambridge, student typically need to read and prepare ahead of every lecture and seminar. While this workshop is not affiliated with the university per se, it is still good to get into the spirit of academic excellence, and to prepare for the workshop as much as you reasonably can. I will provide a mix of readings and videos to watch that would hopefully help you make the most of the 4 days we have together. If your schedule doesn’t allow, don’t worry as there will be lots of time to catch up once you get there.
